>> todd: a fox news alert, helicopter crash leaves three soldiers dead and a fourth fighting for his life in the hospital this morning. two apache choppers collided in the sky. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. the fallen soldiers memor liesing the three heroes, this incredible loss for the soldiers families, their fellow soldiers and for the division. our hearts and prayers go out to families, friends and loved ones and we are making the full resources of the army available to help them. brooke singman has details. >> brooke: officials confirming three soldiers are dead and another is hurt after two helicopters crash near healy,

alaska, the major general saying the fort waynewright community is one of the tightest i've seen in 32 years of service, i have no doubt they will pull together and provide comfort to families of our fallen. the apache helicopters were part of the 25th aviation regimen returning from a flight heading to fort waynewright base. they went down near fairbanks, where the base was located. two soldiers were declared dead at the scene and a third died on the way to the hospital. a fourth soldier is being treated for injuries. in february, two soldiers were hurt when a helicopter was involved in an accident and it is nearly a month to a day nine soldiers were killed innen can tucky when two blackhawks collided midair before going

checkpoints in knowa active war. it is increasingly getting dangerous. we spoke to brian, co-founder of project dynamo and mark guise, from shadow warrior project. listen. >> instead of calling them americans, they are calling them dual-citizens, which i think is trying to undoplay the importance of we have people who are legal voters left behind in a country that is war torn and the administration does not want to provide help. >> project dynamo is working with americans have been left behind, first ukraine, then afghanistan and now here. this pattern sends a terrible message to our people and the world. >> todd: there are estimated

16,000 americans in sudan. >> ashley: the pentagon is taking a look at how it vets for security clearance after secret documents were disclosed. >> the department is looking at intelligence processes and procedures as relates to security or sensitive information and who has that information and looking at the process by which we clear and vet individuals for security clearances. >> ashley: defense department comments come as jack teixeira appears in court after a 90-minute hearing the judge said he would rule on jack teixeira's detention status at a later date. jack teixeira is accused of leaking a trove of classified documents punishable to a minimum of 25 years in prison. >> todd: fbi director christopher wray attempting to shut down accusation of

political bias within the agency during a hearing yesterday, watch. >> just to be clear, there are no political appointees in the fbi. everybody is a career civil servant, unless you count me, am nominate said. >> you are too. >> todd: we asked former special agent, jonathan gilliam what he thought about that. >> jonathan: christopher wray is an attorney, excellent at presenting lies tinged with a little truth and typically that is no surprise for these individuals, that is the way they work. here is reality. here is twinge of truth that christopher wray says right there, not so much political as it is ideological. when it comes to the democrats, these people are ideologically chosen. >> todd: jonathan gilliam believes appointees get pulled

up by political allies instead of climbing the merit. businessowner chasing down a suspect who smashed his window, he will join us next. >> ashley: protesters destroy a case and pedestal containing a famous sculptor in the name of climate change. we have that bizarre moment caught on camera next.

>> todd: climate protesters caught on camera yesterday smearing red and black paint on a gace around a little dancer age 14 sculptor which sold for $41 million last year. two members of declare emergency, calling on leaders toic ta-action during the assault. [indiscernible] -- tell us the truth about what is happening with the climate. >> todd: ashley, she asked the question, is that security walking around? national gallery of art

responding, we denounce this physical attack on our work of art and will share information as it becomes available. they have been targeting high-profile artwork like van gogh's painting to bring attention to their agenda. and frances -- francis suarez, if mayors are held responsible for crime levels in cities, should hold da's accountable in every race it affects citizens and quality of life in cities. miami has lowest per capita homicide rate since 1964 under his watch. murder rates jumping by 10% from 2021 to this year, that according to a recent study.

>> i see this guy in my area. people usually walk through the sidewalk and sometime they stop and look through the window to see the things going on. i'm coming in on my computers, checking e-mails and things like that and this guy walks up to my w window and walks back to the gate. i'm thinking everything is normal. he bends down, i turn back to my computer and i hear this sound ahg, book. he picks up a boulder and throw through my window. >> ashley: you see that on the floor. you chase the guy down, what made you initiate that to chase him? what was going through your

mind? >> at first, i was surprised, a rock coming through the window and glass shattering. i hope up and say stop, trying to stop him, you have to file a police report and different things like that to get your glass covered. i wanted to run down this guy and catch him and see what made him throw a boulder through my window. >> ashley: what was his reaction when you caught him? did he say anything to you? >> actually, what happened, in the chase, he ran through behind my building is a federal court house, u.s. marshal building and he ran through the parking lot and end up getting detained by some authorities there. >> ashley: what a horrible place to run for a criminal. my gosh.

had you ever seen this guy before or this is the first time you had seen him around your business? >> this is the first time i had ever seen him. when i first seen him, he was walking and talking to himself and doing stuff like that. he was under some type of influence that -- i don't know if he looked in my building and seen something that made him angry or what. he just decided to pick that rock up and throw through my window. >> ashley: he was charged, his name is donald knowles. what did the police say when they got there? >> well, i mean, first they were asking me a whole bunch of questions. when i first got to the guy after they apprehended him, he was saying he didn't know what i was talking about. he said he wanted to press charges because i was screaming

at him. basically at the same time, the police end up pulling up and asking what was going on. to this day, i don't know why high threw the rock through the window. >> ashley: he didn't give a reason? >> he didn't give a reason, no, he didn't. >> ashley: how much damage done to your store front with the w window? >> about 800 dollars in damage. my landlord is able to take care of it. the window will not be fixed until tuesday or wednesday, right now it is boarded up. >> ashley: that sucks. it is good you are getting it taken care of, just this senseless violence and crime. you are trying to make a living out there. that is something he ran into the federal courthouse, not a very good criminal, if you ask me. rob effort flood, thank you for

your time, we appreciate it. good luck to you. >> all right, thank you. >> ashley: you're welcome. >> todd: unreal. >> ashley: bad situations all around. it was quite a scene at the white house yesterday, officials took questions from kids, here is one of them. >> do you think the president will make -- wear masks again? >> i hope not. i hope not. >> ashley: joe concha is here to rate that exchange and many other interesting moments. >> todd: did you hear about this, ash? speaking of the pandemic? apparently raising questions about covid-19, including saying the virus came from china, which is did, could soon land you on a biassed registry. one lawmaker in the state this could be happening joins us next. king's hawaiian sliders are ready. great - i invited a few more friends.

♪ hey pops - what's cookin'? [laughs] ahh? mmm. ahh. and i am linda. my turn! who wants more sliders? thanks, mom. i am groot. nothing brings the galaxy together like king's hawaiian. see guardians of the galaxy: vol 3. in theaters may 5th.

>> todd: wait until you get a load of this know wo. some minnesota lawmakers are pushing a bill that would put citizens on a "bias registry tracked by the government if they raise questions about covid." . >> if minnesotan writes an article claiming covid is chinese weapon that leaked from lab in wuhan and it is reported to department of human rights is that something the department should put in their biassed registry under your bill? >> that is bias motivated and can be considered a biassed incident. >> todd: the person calling out the bill joins me now. harry, how is scientifically proven fact that the virus came from china, that china admits, how is that an example of bias? >> well, thank you, thank you for having me on.

yeah, it was really stunning. essentially the reason why, the reason this biassed registry that minnesota democrats is because it is entirely subjective and perceived victim, what is something that is biassed speech that the government should be surveilling and tracking. it is part of a cautionary tale for the country about what radical progressives will do to consolidate power very quickly. >> todd: that was my question. >> thank you for having me on. >> todd: the victim complains they have one point of view. the person who made the statement will defend themselves. who determines whether or not this is perceived bias or not? >> well, that is a good question that we asked and i've gotten different answers from different

lawmakers advocating this. representative bang, who authored the underlying bill put into a big omnibus said there would be discretion to decide whether things are biassed or not and should go into this database. another democrat representative, the author of the omnibus bill said all of them would if the victim perceives it as being bias motivated. either way, it is a way to chill speech, legitimate political speech, the clip you showed is just one example that i try to use of several different examples from across the spe spectrum. we're talking about legitimate political opinion that people express in the marketplace of ideas and if the government

doesn't like it or a victim doesn't like it or certain person on the other side of the aisle doesn't like it, then under the bill that we are passed under the minnesota house and similar language has passed on the senate, that is going to go into what is really almost a soviet-style stitch line or ccp-style social credit scoring database that we don't know what the department of human rights or government will do with that in the future. they say they want to use it to shape future legislation and that is scary, too. >> todd: i thought the only thing minnesota and russia had in common was hockey, i guess you can add another one with this ridiculous bias law. this should be labeled, things that make people feel bad law, is that accurate? >> advocates of the bill, yes, that is how they essentially describe it. it is how a person perceives not

just crimes, i wanted to limit this registry to things that were criminal incidents and they rejected it. they want to include speech that makes people feel bad, speech that makes people feel they are being targeted for laundry list of protected classes like gender identity, gender expression, national origin, religion, etcetera, long list of protected classes. if you feel bad about someone's speech, they think you should report that speech to the federal government. >> ashley: it will lead to silencing of political enemies, which is attack on free speech and we cannot have this in the united states of america. keep us posted, we appreciate it. >> ashley: fox weather alert.

twister in the state's panhandle, thousands of floridian without power after twisters touched down destroying homes and snapping tree branches and downing power lines. 80% of residents? liberty county lost power. >> todd: golf-ball sized hail in panama city. adam klotz here with fox weather forecast. >> active for the entire week and we continue to see that as we speak, showers move through the area. i need the map on max 16, if you don't have those. what we're looking at here, it does look as if we do have that. my bad. showers and rain moving across the area. the blue area is severe storm

report over the last 24 hours. wind reports and you talked about tornado reports in the red area. that is outside of lynhaven and across entire southeast. we're seeing big weather now spreading across the entire area. showers from florida and getting up into the carolinas. some big storm reports driven by relatively warm air. you are looking at temperatures early this morning into the 70s and will climb up close to 80. 75 in dallas. warmer half of the country on the east half. mid-50s in new york, cooler temperatures back across the middle of the country for friday. we will continue to slowly warm up, the same is the case running into saturday, getting up to 80. all that is fuel we need to see more showers, staying relatively cool in northern tier of the country, closer toengea. across the south, that is

fuelling storms and seeing heat building. >> ashley: in the panhandle, there are people down in destine, they say grills and tram trampolines were in their neighbors pool. >> todd: north carolina lieutenant governor fighting to flip his state red. >> i don't want my family to see a picture of me and wonder why i didn't fight for them. i want my family to know i did everything i could, that is what i'm fighting for. >> ashley: lieutenant governor mark robertson is here with his message.

i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance

on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month. i'm 65 and take medications. what's my price? also $9.95 a month. i just turned 80, what's my price? $9.95 a month for you too. if you're age 50 to 85, call now about the #1 most popular whole life insurance plan available through the colonial penn program. it has an affordable rate starting at $9.95 a month. no medical exam, no health questions. your acceptance is guaranteed. and this plan has a guaranteed lifetime rate lock so your rate can never go up for any reason.

so call now for free information and you'll also get this free beneficiary planner. and it's yours free just for calling. so call now for free information. >> ashley: north carolina lieutenant governor is running to replace roy cooper in 2024. >> some day you and i will be gone and i don't want my family to see a picture of me and wonder why i didn't fight for them. i want my children and grandchildren to know that i did everything i could, that is what i'm fighting for and why i'm running for governor. >> todd: north carolina gubernatorial candidate mark robinson joins us now.

great to have you, sir. you said you are running in light of your children and grandchildren. why are you running? what do you want to change in the great state of north carolina? >> well, thank you for having me here this morning. that is a fantastic question. it is not really what we want to change. it is what we want to keep doing right. north carolina had miraculous comeback economically since 2010 and politically since 2010 and we want to keep the good times going and stay on the right track. the only obstacle we have had in the past number of years to fulfill many of the things i believe could be done in this state is the fact we have an obstructionist governor more concerned with his family and with climbing the political party than with the success of the people of north carolina. we need someone in office whose role is going to be expressly

trying to make sure the people of north carolina have what they need to succeed, both in business, education and their private lives. anything we can deliver as elected officials to folks to succeed and families to you can is seed is our mission. >> ashley: what does your first day in office as governor look like? >> the very first day that god would bless us to serve in that capacity, step in, bring law and order back and make sure folks in north carolina know that the government is here now to partner with you, not to rule over you like we saw governor cooper do during the covid debacle and not like we've seen current attorney general do in dodging his duty. we're going to partner with the people of north carolina for their success. >> broadening this out from just not north carolina an op ed

criticizing for not doing more to fight crime. lieutenant governor, how do -- capitalize on that sentiment? >> i can't tell any other republican what to do in their campaign or with their voice, but certainly with my voice, what i'm going to do is tell people in communities across this state, if you want to reclaim your power in your community, stand up, get involved and realize, it is not the politician that runs the area, not the county commissioner, not the governor or senator, it is you. your participation will turn the tide in your community and your home. we have to courage folk to get out and get involved, do not defund the police, partner with the police to bring safety to your communities and don't

ignore the politicians because folks can do bad things when you do. make sure it happens, the power is within you to change the things. >> ashley: really quickly, 66% of black voters approve of the job president biden has done, homicide rates in cities like memphis, richmond, washington, d.c., the list goes on, they are up 10% from 2021, how do you get the black vote behind you and the rest of tgop for 2024? >> i tend to discount polls sometimes, quick hits, ask questions on the fly and folks don't think deeply when they answer those questions. they think more about the person than about the situation itself. we continue to focus on the substantive issue people face

everyday and let folks know about our great programs and principles and policies that work, show them how they work and where they are working, the folks will listen to us and vote for us in '24. >> todd: could be next governor of south carolina and joined us on this friday. thank you for your time and best of luck. >> thank you. >> todd: round one of the n.f.l. draft in the books, ashley strohmier and no shortage of shocking moments. i don't know if this was shocking, i expected this know wo. carolina panthers making bryce young franchise quarterback. a lot of shockers after this. >> ashley: i mapped them out earlier. >> todd: you prepared my segment. >> former n.f.l. player chris valletta is breaking down the biggest moments with us next.

>> todd: round one of the n.f.l. draft in the books kicking off with three big quarterback picks, including a couple surprises. chris valletta, former n.f.l. player joins me now. great to have you talking all things draft. i love bryce young, expected him

to go one. then it gets weird. >> it did get weird, best teams have best quarterbacks, top five teams, three needed a quarterback and three got a quarterback. bryce is spectacular athlete, no reason he shouldn't have gone number one. it is important to know the system he came out, nick saban, grit, determine agsz, the things every great quarterback needses in the n.f.l. >> todd: if you were houston texans, would you have cj stroud as high as they did? >> in the war room, you never know what a coach saw on the practice field, during a try out. these coaches interview everybody, the coaches, field agent, athletic trainers, they

want to know what type of human being they are investing in. >> todd: that could have led to the shock we saw with colts taking anthony richardson out of florida and not will levis out of kentucky. what happened there? levis is still on the board, could go today or drop further. >> you can you imagine, it is agonizing for the athletes, you just do not know what happens. this is a business and the players are the commodity in the business. it is a different game, particularly now with players coming out of college, college is a different game. the important thing to remember, every single one of these players starts from zero. they are big picks, they start from zero and have to prove themselves. >> todd: the best player in n.f.l. history arguably was a sixth round draft pick, one thomas brady.

your favorite pick of the night? >> not just my favorite, but the aurea around the jets is interesting. big bombshell was aaron rodgers, quarterback from green bay coming into new york to a team that has not won a super bowl in 54 years, i believe it is and haven't had a winning season in 25 years. aaron is walking into the lion's den so to speak and i think new yorkers are saying we don't hope you do well, you better do well, that is a little bit of new environment for him. but clearly, the jets first pick was a shocker. will was mcdonald fourth andjected to go lower in the draft, maybe early second round pick and squeezed to the 15th when they were expecting to get an offensive lineman. what is important, great quarterback, have a line to protect them. >> todd: i will press you, would you put the jets pick, i'm doing

this to upset our producer. would you put that as most questionable pick of the draft so far? >> no. >> what would that be? >> i don't know if it's -- i can't say the most questionable pick, i'm not in the war room, it is you have to. will mcdonald iv is an exceptional draft pick, zero doubt. he might surprise us. real surprise is first time aaron rodgers gets sacked, if that happens, everyone will say, you made the wrong pick, we need a better line. >> todd: day two, you heard in the break, ashley strohmier prepared my notes and wants to know where is will levis going to go? his girlfriend was in the room, he was in the room, everybody thought will was going four or five and he did not. where is he going today? >> this is a crap shoot, you never know. we don't know what coaches saw.

there might have been one little thing and it could be the smallest or biggest thing, one thing could move a player from a top pick to a late round pick. it is tough, it is agonizing for athletes. one piece of advice for every n.f.l. player, doesn't matter first round or seventh, n.f.l. stands for not for long and that is true, average career is three years, get in, work hard, save your money and be a good role model for kids. >> todd: great piece of advice for every job. get in, do your job and have a long, successful career. v chris valletta, this was fun. >> ashley: unless you are aaron rodgers or tom brady. president biden -- the dean has not scheduled a single primary

debate this electric cycle. >> put joe biden on the state with kennedy and marianne williamson and have a discussion. >> ashley: joe concha is here next to react. first steve doocy will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends," good morning. >> steve: good morning, issua. on friday, staying on top of breaking news out of central alaska. three army sergeants dead after a helicopter crash. looking ahead to 2024, two midwest mothers give pulse of the people and what they are thinking. 13 days from the end of title 42 and the embattled dhs secretary is out with a new plan. a lot like the old plan. will it stop illegal migrants from crossing the border? probably not, we'll explain what they think will work. plus, the legend joe namath, governor jim justice, ernest adams and

>> ashley: president biden's approval rating hits all-time low. rocky start to the campaign. >> todd: alexandria hoff with more. >> hey, todd, ashley. the only time the president's approval rating neared this low back in july of last year 38%. latest gallup poll finds a notch under that with 37% of americans approving of the president's job performance. that is the lowest of any modern president. it means more to president biden now as he is seeking a second term trying to ward off concerns about the economy, that's a big

one and also his age at 80. a moment like this one yesterday doesn't help. >> what was the last country you traveled to. >> the last country i traveled -- i'm thinking the last one i was in. i have been to 89 -- i met with 89 heads of state so far. so i'm trying to think where was the last place i was? it's hard to keep track. ireland. >> you're right. ireland. that's where it was. [laughter] how did you know that? >> he just got back. also yesterday the white house had had to deaf and cheat sheet held i by the president. question would come from a specific "los angeles times" reporter. >> how that ended up there and why the president needed something like that. >> entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters who will be asking questions at a press conference and issues we expect they might

ask about. >> the "l.a. times" weighed in writing, quote: our reporter did not submit any questions inned a advance of the q&a with president biden. as such she is in regular contact with the white house presses office seeking information for her reporting. you would have to ask the white house to prepared the document for the president and why they included that question. now the question that the "l.a. times" reporter did ask did not exactly match what was seen on the card but the topic was the same. ashley, todd? >> todd: alexandria, thank you very much. radio host charlamagne tha god fed up with the dnc for not scheduling any debates this primary is section. >> it's whack that the dnc won't do any primaries next year. do a [bleep] primary. put joe biden up on that stage with bobby kennedy who is challenging him and marianne williamson and whoever steps up to the plate and let's have a [bleep] discussion, yo. >> joe concha joins us now. i have to put this in context for those who may not remember what charlamagne is.

this is when he spoke it candidate biden back in 2020 listen. >> i have more questions, i will tell you what with? if you have a problem figuring out if you are for me or trump then you ain't black. >> it ain't having nothing to do with trump it's has to do with i want something for my community. >> take a look at my record, man! >> now we know the relevance of charlamagne. you think the more pressure people put on the dnc to have these debates that they might actually do it? >> i would hope so. the problem is it's only charlamagne who i worked with actually he over oat wor in new york a couple years oak and authentic guy i talked to him several times. listen to his radio show. he doesn't hold back or care what party you belong to. this is an effort to inbe sure the biden basement strategy is deployed to its full effect once again during the primary process and beyond and, look, you just showed the polls. joe biden is at his lowest level

in polling history for a president at this time in their presidency. the president was asked just yesterday, as you just played, whats what the last country you were at. i get if you haven't traveled in a while but he was just there last week. we are talking about ireland and he couldn't remember. that's why he is being kept off this debate stage. he can't answer basic questions. and the same goes for donald trump, by the way, too. who says he is not going to debate as well during the primary season. no, this isn't a coronation. you have to defend your policies, your ideas. i don't care if you are a democrat or a republican. you can not have this process without debating your opponents both the rnc and dnc should stand up and say we're going to hold these debates for all candidates and you must all show up. i have a feeling that's not going to happen because we are in a coronation process not electoral process it appears at this point, guys. >> todd: we don't know if we are having presidential debates or vice presidential key baits if
